### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A journey deep into the mind of an OCD sufferer
*by A***. on March 10, 2015*

I've read numerous books on OCD and anxiety, including "Getting Control" and "The Imp of the Mind" by Lee Baer, "You Are Not Your Brain" by Jeffrey Schwartz, "Overcoming Obsessive Thoughts" by Clark and Purdon, and "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Claire Weekes. I recommend each of these books in their own way, especially "The Imp of the Mind" and "Hope and Help for Your Nerves". Each one has helped me recover from a period of anxiety. However, Dr. Grayson's book is on another level.I'm an OCD sufferer, having gone through many different forms over the years, including Harm-OCD, obsessing about obsessing, health concerns, Relationship OCD, and others. Other books were good, and they provided a lot of good reassurance, but as you may know, with OCD, reassurance isn't always a good thing. I found little to no reassurance in this book, instead I found strong motivation, tools for recovery, and resources to support me in the process.Dr. Grayson is a big proponent of Exposure and Response Prevention, the "gold standard" of OCD treatment today. In a way, there's quite a bit of "tough love", but that's exactly what we need. And at the risk of sounding less OCD and more schizophrenic, it's like Dr. Grayson could read my mind. So many times he said "You're probably thinking..." or "You know that...", and he was almost always right. He has a deep, deep understanding of the OCD mind. His understanding was more evident than any other author I've read.While reading previous books, I ignored exercises because I thought they were silly, contrived, or unnecessary. He addresses this mentality, and I found myself doing all of the exercises. The exercises are mostly very useful.He really lays it all out. He does a brief overview of OCD, but doesn't belabor it - after all, most of us who are reading this book know about it first-hand. He describes the various manifestations and related disorders, how their presence can present challenges, and how those challenges can be overcome. It's true that it's all treated mainly the same way, but it's naive to deny that there are unique challenges to each theme. He helps the reader design individualized recovery plans through numerous exercises. He addresses family and friends, teaching them how they can best support their loved ones with OCD. He lays out a clear plan to avoid major relapses and stay "better". Finally, he leaves the reader with resources for further help, including information on support groups, organizations, therapists, etc. He takes all of this complicated material and makes it easy - learn to live with uncertainty, and your life will improve.I'm confident in saying that this is the best book on OCD I've ever read. I absolutely recommend it to both the individual just learning about OCD and the learned, experienced individual. I will need to reread this one, but more importantly I will use its tools to beat my OCD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6 years later: Still the BEST book I have ever read for myself
*by B***K on November 29, 2021*

This book legit changed my life. It made me understand a condition that was scary and secretive and distracting and all-out shitty. I'm not a reader, but I read this (500 page) book twice about six years ago. It helped me take control over something that I thought I would never control of or be able to move on from. The first time I read it, I didn't do the exercises–it is very uncomfortable! The second time I showed up for myself–I worked through it and dedicated about 12 weeks to really focusing on it. It is uncomfortable/disturbing/etc. but you get through it–and I can say having OCD constantly bombarding your life is much, much worse. The therapies nearly diminish the OCD and let you look at it objectively and start living again. While I absolutely recommend seeing a professional in addition, the nice thing about a book is that you can cover SO much of the disorder that you could never cover in a session, so you can learn to look at OCD more objectively. You can also find the right professional (someone who makes you do exposure therapy and CBT–sorry, but you're not going to talk your way out of obsessions which some counselors seem to think you can and frankly, its nice for a minute, but does not make lasting changes!) You also realize you're not alone–other people have gone through the same thing, and there is so many listed symptoms you can see them before having to talk about them. This book, and "Dropping the Baby and Other Scary Thoughts" along with the Gaurdian article "Dirty Little Secret" were life-changers. I can enjoy being a mom and a wife and a friend, and be present–but it does take strength to read and participate in this–and 6 years later, I am SO glad I did that for myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Standing ovation!!!
*by A***D on February 1, 2025*

This book deserves a standing ovation! I am a therapist specialized in the treatment of OCD. This book is outstanding. Dr Grayson thank you for all your work in this field, and for making such an accessible book for sufferers and clinicians!! I want to require each of my clients to read this book- it’s that good! If you’re on the fence about buying it- don’t hesitate you will be grateful for its guidance and wisdom!
